Berber Moroccan Rug – A Story of Heritage and Craft
Discover the colorful Boujad runner rug
colorful Boujad runner rug is not only a decorative piece but also a cultural treasure. Handcrafted in tribal villages across Morocco, each rug is a unique work of art. Using only the finest wool, Berber women have preserved traditional weaving techniques for centuries.
Every rug reflects a cultural history passed down from generation to generation. When placed in a home, it becomes the first decorative feature that captures attention, setting the tone for the entire space.
Handcrafted with Tradition
Each colorful Boujad runner rug is handwoven on traditional looms by skilled artisans. The wool is carefully hand-spun, washed, and dyed with natural pigments. This slow, intentional process ensures not only beauty but also longevity.
The intricate designs, often geometric or symbolic, carry deep meaning. Motifs like diamonds or zigzags represent themes of fertility, protection, or balance. Every rug tells a story, woven thread by thread into the fabric.
The Beauty of Wool
Wool is at the heart of every colorful Boujad runner rug. Known for its softness and strength, wool brings comfort underfoot while resisting wear. Its breathable fibers keep interiors warm in winter and cool in summer.
Wool is also hypoallergenic and naturally resistant to dust and moisture. This makes a Moroccan rug not only beautiful but also a healthier choice for your home.
Aesthetic and Cultural Value
The value of Moroccan rugs continues to grow over time. Beyond being decorative, they are considered collectible works of art. Their vintage appeal adds depth and authenticity to modern interiors.
The bold designs and natural colors instantly elevate any room. Whether you place one in a living room, bedroom, or hallway, it becomes a conversation piece. A Berber Moroccan rug is a bridge between history and contemporary design.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my Moroccan rug?
Caring for your Moroccan rug is simple! For regular maintenance, we recommend gently vacuuming it 1-2 times a week (use a suction-only attachment, without a beater bar) and air it outside every few months. For minor spills, act quickly by blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth. If needed, use a small amount of water and a gentle soap. For deep cleaning, we strongly recommend seeking a professional rug cleaner who specializes in wool carpets to preserve the rug's natural fibers and vibrant colors for years to come.
◈ Vacuum Regularly → Use a low setting without a beater bar to protect the fibers.
◈ Blot Spills Immediately → Use a dry cloth for stains, gently dab with mild detergent and cold water.
◈ Protect from Moisture → Avoid excessive humidity and use a rug pad to extend its lifespan.
◈ Prevent Fading → Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
◈ Rotate Every Few Months → Ensures even wear and longevity.
◈ Fluff Maintain → If fibers flatten, gently brush with a soft-bristle brush.
◈ Deep Clean → Opt for professional hand-washing every 5 years or as needed.
◈ Sunbathe Monthly → If practical, let your rug in the sun occasionally. Sunlight's UV rays work as natural deodorizing and microbe protection.
◈ Avoid Harsh Chemicals → They can damage the natural wool fibers.

Expect your parcel to arrive within 6-15 business days, depending on your location. You will receive a tracking number via email as soon as your order is on its way.
Will I have to pay customs fees or import duties?
Due to recent U.S. tariff changes, imports from Morocco are subject to a 10% duty plus standard customs fees; however, under our Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) terms, we will take full responsibility for these import charges ourselves, so you won’t have to pay anything extra.
How do you package the rugs to make sure they arrive safely?
We guarantee that your rug will arrive safely and in excellent condition, having been thoroughly inspected, cleaned, and, if necessary, restored prior to dispatch. We then fold it carefully and wrap it in multiple layers of durable, weather-resistant material to ensure it is fully protected from moisture and handling during its journey to you. We take every precaution to ensure your rug arrives in perfect condition.

Please remember that our rugs are handmade by artisans, not by machines. Slight variations in color, pattern, weave, and size are natural characteristics of these one-of-a-kind items. These charming imperfections are not considered defects but are part of the unique story and beauty of each piece.
Is Moroccan wool rugs durable and suitable for high-traffic areas?
Absolutely. Hand-knotted from 100% sheep wool, Moroccan rugs are renowned for their durability and resilience. Our rugs are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and other frequently used spaces, but be sure to follow care instructions, like rotating regularly, to keep it looking its best for years.
Do newly made wool Moroccan rugs shed?
It is completely normal for a new wool rug to shed a little at first. This is a natural characteristic of high-quality wool fibres and a sign of its authenticity. This initial shedding will decrease significantly over a few weeks with regular, gentle vacuuming.
Will the rug I receive look exactly like the one in the photo?
You will receive the exact rug shown in the photos. However, please remember that these are handmade items. We do our best to capture the colours accurately, but they may vary slightly depending on your screen's lighting and calibration. Any minor variations or "imperfections" in the pattern are part of the unique story and charm of your one-of-a-kind piece.
What are your rugs made of?
Our rugs are crafted from 100% natural, locally sourced sheep's wool. The wool's quality gives the rugs their signature softness, durability, and rich texture. The foundation (or warp) of the rug is sometimes made of cotton, which provides a strong and stable base for the wool knots.
